Step by Step
With this ticket you can get to know one of the most impressive corners of the Eternal City from the inside: the Dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Located at the top of the Esquiline Hill, this basilica is a jewel of Rome's artistic and spiritual heritage.
You will enter the Dome and enjoy a unique panoramic view of the city. From the top, you will have before you a sea of Roman roofs and historic domes, while you look closely at the architectural details that make this place a symbol of faith and beauty.
But the experience does not end there: you can also visit the Loggia of the Blessing, the solemn Hall of the Popes and the spectacular Staircase designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, one of the masters of the Baroque. Each space will transport you to different periods of splendour of the Church and Italian art.
During the tour, don't miss the Byzantine mosaics, the frescoes and the Crypt of the Nativity, where the relic of the Holy Manger, associated with the birth of Jesus, is kept. This journey through sacred art is a unique opportunity to delve into the spirituality and history of Rome.
